TLDR
There is greater understanding about how cellular transport systems functionally integrate to facilitate tissue and organismal Na + homeostasis, and notable in this process are HKT1 Na + transporters, which regulate Na + loading into the root xylem, limiting flux to and accumulation in the shoot.

Blocked Pollen Release Prevents Fruit Formation in the Halophyte Elaeagnus Angustifolia in Non-Saline Habitats

TL;DR: The induction and coordinated upregulation of genes related to anther cell wall formation and JA biosynthesis likely contribute to another dehiscence in E. angustifolia in saline habitats, whereas anther dehISCence is blocked in plants grown in non-saline habitats.

Maize-gamagrass interspecific hybrid, zea mays x tripsacum dactyloides, shows better salinity tolerance and higher na+ exclusion than maize and sorghum

TL;DR: It was concluded that the higher salinity tolerance of the two hybrids is attributable to a highly efficient Na + exclusion mechanism, which can explain the previous findings that both hybrids produced 11- to 16-fold more forage biomass compared to the parental maize line in a field trial on moderately saline soil.

Initial growth of carnauba ('Copernicia prunifera') progenies under saline water

TL;DR: Since the carnauba can produce seedlings in water with electrical conductivity of up to 9.6 dS m-1, this species is characterized as a bioindicator of saline soils and is recommended for planting in degraded areas.

Mechanisms of salinity tolerance

TL;DR: The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level and the role of the HKT gene family in Na(+) exclusion from leaves is increasing.

REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES: Metabolism, Oxidative Stress, and Signal Transduction

TL;DR: The mechanisms of ROS generation and removal in plants during development and under biotic and abiotic stress conditions are described and the possible functions and mechanisms for ROS sensing and signaling in plants are compared with those in animals and yeast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress, antioxidants and stress tolerance

TL;DR: Key steps of the signal transduction pathway that senses ROIs in plants have been identified and raise several intriguing questions about the relationships between ROI signaling, ROI stress and the production and scavenging ofROIs in the different cellular compartments.

Salt and drought stress signal transduction in plants

TL;DR: Salt and drought stress signal transduction consists of ionic and osmotic homeostasis signaling pathways, detoxification (i.e., damage control and repair) response pathways, and pathways for growth regulation.

Plant cellular and molecular responses to high salinity.

TL;DR: Evidence for plant stress signaling systems is summarized, some of which have components analogous to those that regulate osmotic stress responses of yeast, some that presumably function in intercellular coordination or regulation of effector genes in a cell-/tissue-specific context required for tolerance of plants.
